periods

i used to belief that when u had your period it would happen everyday and would use and tampox to stop so u don't bleed to death

dummy

I used to believe that menstruating meant you were diseased, so when my mom got her period I thought she had a rare disease. :D

When I was about seven I thought you bled out of your breasts on your period.

Until I was eleven,I thought once you had your period you ALWAYS had it every single day until menopause.

I used to believe that when you started your period it was just minute. So I started my period at church and thought no more about it (I was 11)when I went to the restroom there was blood in my panties so I said no big deal. So I went back to sit down. When church was over I got up and blood was all on the seat and my close. I was embarrased to tell someone.

Why be so stupid???

When I started my periods at the age of 10 I didn't know very much about them as my parents had never really discussed it with me. I did know, however, that periods come once a month, so I assumed every period I had for the rest of my life would arrive on exactly the same day each month.

i used to think all girls peed their pants, and pads where diapers

i liked the idea of it and wanted to be a girl

My best friend once told me she couldn't wear a tampon because "she wouldn't be a virgin anymore" I started crying because I thought that meant I had lost my virginity.

my little sister used to believe than period pads gave her super powers.

wacko zacho

i used to believe that tampons were individual wrapped, disposible curlers.
then, after i had actually seen one unwrapped, i thought it was a candle.

My mother didn't personally explain the "facts of life" to me, I think -- I was given a book that I was free to read whenever I got curious. I got a lot of accurate info this way, except for one little thing. I believed that men had an equivelant to the women's "time of the month."

It was only fair, after all!

When I was about 3 i thought that the paper wrappers for tampons were what held pencils and so i never understood why she wouldnt let me borrow one of them i finally found out when i was around 5, oopsie :)

I used to believe that a period was a girl peeing blood, it wasn't until I was camping and playing with this boy and I told him that and his older sister overheard me she pulled me aside and explained what it really was I was really embarressed.

i thought that my mom used to pee on her maxi pads

Anon

Not me but a friend thought (until we set her straight) that periods were blue because of the commercials that show how much the pad absorbs. She was so embarrassed when we told her that the blood "down there" is the same color. So was her face :)

When I was younger, I used to think that if I touched one of my mums sanitary towels (the one's without wrappers)then it would make her ill. I used to think that somehow, sanitary towels had to be completely sterile before you could use them!

After being allowed to eat as many beets as I cared to at lunch one day (my gramma was minding me), I was horrified to see later that when I weed, the water turned red. I was convinced I was the first 6-year-old to get her period. When my mum came home, she noticed I was very preoccupied and after getting the horrible truth out of me, proceeded to dress down my gramma for overfeeding me beets and scaring the tar out of me.

Before I started my period I was terrified to use a tampon because I was afraid the string would snap and it'd be lodged in my vagina forever. (I still kinda am)

14 and wondering

When I was young my girl scout troop went to this mother daughter breakfast at a country club. It was a nice place and me and alot of the girls were hanging around in the swanky bathroom. In the stalls there was a box that was marked napkin disposal, and I (along with the other girls) was under the impression that this was where we out our dirty table napkins, so we all put them in there. It happens

when i was little i used to always ask my mom what tampons were....she would never tell me she said something like "um...i dunno" and i would be like "oh ok" and one day i desided that i would figure out what they were so i went into the bathroom got some and started doing expeeraments.....like i wonder what would happen if i used them as hairpins XDDDDDD i was so stupid

AJ
